Playing Lego Avengers, which starts to drag a bit by the end but I'm enjoying it well enough that I'll finish it this morning.

But that's because Olympus Has Fallen, the good action movie, is better than the silly and stupid White House Down.

Wow. That's not going to end well for them, is it?

We kept singing that song last night while watching it. Damn it, Gail Simone….

Yeah, The Apartment is almost a perfect movie with one of the best endings ever. There's zero shame in losing to that.

Yeah, you can do far worse than to check out youtube videos of her playing guitar; she's *good*.

Hell, the shot of them digging in silhouette as the sun is setting? I'd hang that on my wall.

And scrolling through that review, I spot a good amount of British actors whose names I don't actually know but have enjoyed in small parts.

I didn't know that one! Getting it from the library.

Yeah, I'd be interested in a movie about a centurion sent to deal with a missing body being hidden as a fraud. Also, check out the novels of Lindsey Davis; her Marcus Didius Falco novels are really fun mysteries set in the 1st century Empire.

You can have real fun with presidential candidates who didn't win their home state. Like Al Gore, who did not win Tennessee in 2000, or George H.W. Bush, who didn't win Connecticut in 1992.

Damn straight. I love that all four actors in that movie were nominated, as they should be.

As a dude, Rizzo was always the one I was into in Grease.

So…Risen?

Yes, and also after the chaos of the 1968 election when Humphrey got the nomination despite not winning (or for the most part running in) a single primary. (Kennedy was assassinated in April and his delegates could not get their act together to line up behind McCarthy or McGovern so Humphrey managed to wheel and deal…
